The firm is great. The people I worked with were amazing. Hard workers but still a fun atmosphere. Great work environment.

Cons

Benefits are alright. Pay is okay, but less than other big law firms for staff. Overwhelming workload for some. Could use extra help.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
